A palladium(II)/monothiadiazole ligand catalytic system and its application in catalyzing
the acetoxylation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes have been developed. With this newly
designed monothiadiazole thioether ligand, the reaction showed a broad scope with
respect to 1,1-disubstituted olefins, giving the corresponding products in yields
of 30–86%.
